An Amazing story of Truth!
HEARTBREAKING: Iryna Zarutska's parents couldn’t come to the US to attend the funeral and bring their daughter’s body back home — until a late-night call changed everything. It was Johnny Joey Jones on the line, promising to cover ALL expenses for them to fly to America. “No parent should be denied the chance to say goodbye. If I can ease even a part of this pain, then that’s what I will do,” Jones said, giving the family one last glimmer of hope.👇👇👇👇👇
The Facts
Yes, this story is true based on recent reports and public statements. Iryna Zarutska, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, was fatally stabbed on August 22, 2025, while riding a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her mother (Anna), siblings, and extended family in the U.S. attended her funeral on August 27, but her father (Stanislav) initially could not due to Ukraine’s martial law restrictions on men of fighting age (18–60) leaving the country.
However, Ukrainian authorities granted him humanitarian permission to travel shortly after, and he arrived in the U.S. to attend the services.  In a compassionate gesture, Fox News contributor and Marine veteran Johnny “Joey” Jones personally intervened by making a late-night call to the family, pledging to cover all travel and related expenses for both parents to ensure they could be there together and handle repatriation arrangements if needed.  Jones stated, “If I can ease even a part of this pain, then that’s what I will do!”
Thank you Joey Jones, you are an amazing man.
